Jerome,
Nope, no instructions. I will be reading up on all the posts that people have on the build process. There is alot of good information out there and lots of people in the know. I will just ask lots of questions:)

Congrats, one of the nicest-fastest hulls! It will be nice to see the building progress.

Congrats malibu for your HPR115. Mine has shown up for two months but didn't get a chance to start working on it. I am planning to enjoy the process in house during this winter when all ponds here are frozen.

Do it and let me have a perfect example of building! :)

From the Step you mentioned, CG is 4cm, 100Kph is 9.5cm, 120Kph is 11.5cm and 140Kph is 13.25cm.

Awesome! Thank you!

Nothing beats the feeling of hard earned money well spent

Does the boat comes with instruction about the exact location where to mount the hardware? I read in a build thread that 1 mm makes a big difference in terms of mounting the arnesian drive.....

Shes a beaut! On the cog marks, whats the dimensions from the step that is behind the cog marks for the 100 120 and 140 kph?
I got mine barely drilled and like new locally in the states so Im missing a lot of the Hanspeter bonuses....

The hull finish looks pretty darn good. There are four plug holes on the bottom of the hull that need to be smoothed. Along with the upper to lower deck joint which I would think is optional as the seem is small and straight with no imperfections. There are two small imperfections on one of the sponsons that will probably need some attention but I am being really nit picky here. Hull is baby butt smooth, and the hatch is a perfect fit with equal gaps all the way around.
CF inside looks flawless. I don't think a person could do a better job. Hanspeter really does make a work of art here. I am 100 happy so far:)

Waoh Waoh Waoh !!!

She is gourgeous outside and I bet the inside would be even better with the carbon/kevlar finish.

So how is the gelcoat finish compared to other boats?

Hanspeter must have thrown in some motor mounts and a servo mount:) RIght on. I received the AE Carbontec parts before the weekend. I have not matched them up yet but they seem to be made by the same place. Very nice quality!

[malibu1]

Yes Jerome, I think it did come early!

[malibu1]

Started opening the box. Very nicely packed. Thanks Hanspeter! End of the box has plastic sheets to keep hull from going through the ends. Outside wrapped in paper. Swiss Newspaper is very interesting to read.
After the paper is removed, everything is well wrapped in bubble wrap.
The fiberglass windshield frame is already outlined with the cutouts! I did not know that..Yay!

Don't you feel like Chrismas come early this year?

Open the box!!!

The HPR Hull showed up today! Box has a couple of punctures in it but has faired better than some I have heard of coming from over see's.

Thanks for the build site Bonewar!

Got an email from Hanspeter. Hull shipped out on Saturday. Not sure how fast things come from over seas. I hope the hull doesn't get stuck in customs.
Still waiting on the AE carbon fiber parts. Having troubles getting ahold of Andreas after sending the paypal. Hopefully the CF parts will show up the same day as the hull.
I have also decided on the 1527 1Y's with the 8mm shafts. Just waiting for them to show up in stock.
This could be a fun weekend coming up!
